Diles Que No Me Maten are a Mexico City five-piece whosekrautrock-influenced art rock has evolved into something genuinely singular -wiry, poetic, and alive with improvisational instinct. Their fourth album Escrito enAgua (Writ in Water), due June 12 via Moonlight Activities, is their most focusedand accessible work yet, recorded in a makeshift studio in Santa María LaRibera with producer Sebastián Rojas. Built around restrained drumming,deliberate silences, and the spiritual weight of Oaxacan funerary music, therecord moves with an unhurried confidence that feels hard-won.Thematically, Escrito en Agua is a record about presence, wandering, andresilience - songs that sit with ambiguity rather than resolve it. Lead single"Hiriku" sets the tone, pairing frenetic krautrock with lines drawn from JoséVicente Anaya's visionary poem Híkuri, while standout track "No me" transformsa mantra of self-assurance into something far more emotionally complex.Dedicated to both the indigenous morning star Tunuwame and Palestinian poetMahmoud Darwish, the album closes as it opens: quietly transcendent, payingcareful attention to the smallest details of what it means to be alive.
